Honestly I think she's just looking for some way to earn a living working from home. Freelance writing may not be the answer for her. The good thing is there are options she can explore, but no matter what she does she'll need to commit to the process.Kimberly Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08163102442191692386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1299053910466115973.post-29269881192220696432010-11-10T08:08:14.845-05:002010-11-10T08:08:14.845-05:00AMEN, Kim!

If she didn't follow the directions, what makes her think the client would even consider her?<br /><br />I remember asking for writing help once. I spelled out exactly what I needed, what the writers had to send me in order to be considered. One person out of the six or more who responded did what was asked. One. I hired her on the spot. And she was my best worker because she listened to details and got it all right the first time. And your friend doesn't see that connection, does she? <br /><br />You're so right - we have to be committed to the job. Otherwise, we're just playing with paper.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18045985667596964511noreply@blogger.com
